Optometry

The three "O"s in eyecare are: Opticians, Optometrists, and
Ophthalmologists. There are 16 educational institutions across North America
that offer doctorate level programs in optometry. The programs generally
have an undergraduate degree as a prerequisite, and then run four years
addressing academic and clinical topics.

Optometrists are the primary care practitioners for vision and ocular health
concerns. They are trained to effectively diagnose, manage and treat a
multitude of visual and ocular health-related concerns, including, but not
limited to, fitting and prescribing spectacles and contact lenses, treating
minor ocular injuries, diagnosing and treating diseases such as glaucoma and
diabetic retinopathy.
